all this talk of
future failure
a mind-blowing
collapse
and i tell you, sir
to gaze at
that light beside you
and the roots below
and tell me again
of your failures.
I see
Squirrels
Filling their mouths
With nuts,
And scampering to
Their tree to
Hide them,
Store them away for winter.
Deep in the
Woods,
Bears begin to hibernate.
Near the river,
Beavers are putting
The finishing touches
Onto their dam.
All for the coming winter.
Me?
I have all
I need
To keep me
Company.
I have my
Cozy, warm bed.
A cup of
Hot chocolate or tea.
And last but not least,
My books.
Inspired by "Winter" by Nikki Giovanni
You had me at a point where I would’ve left the entire world behind for you.

I am distant

I am
the cold wind
howling through
Bare trees

I am
a single
snowflake
falling
to the pavement
melting on impact

I am
the spitting
before the rain

I am nothing
except a warning
before the big storm

It is nothing
Because
I feel nothing
I mean nothing
To this lonely world

He knelt down beside the nightstand
and gathered cigarettes smoked down
to the filters in his growing hands.
Loose ash stained his palms  
as he moved the butts to one hand
and slid a coffee cup closer with the other.
He stood up—his eyes barely met
the drawers' brass handles—and placed
the makeshift ashtray on top.

Don't cry because
The sun has set
Smile because it rose

This word
defines
your place
when I
Dream
She
She stretched her arms towards the sky,
And stood up on her tippy toes,

She made her hair a skyscraper,
And her nails far too long,

She always talked loudly,
never walked, just danced,

Her laugh was stupendous,
Her tears were waterfalls,

Oh how she cast a shadow,
That drowned anyone in it.

Life is too short,
friendship too important,
cherish your friends
Friendship is hard work...work hard!
